Censorship and Spam lists interfering in our Registered Campaign against the #HST
Mar 6, 2010 Details
It has been brought to our attention that some Internet Service Providers have listed the term fighthst.com in spam lists and in some cases the emails are not getting to their intended recipients. This may or may not be an intentional act to interfere with our campaign but it is a harmful act nonetheless. The legalities of it will be something for the Courts and Elections BC to determine at a later time. We are not sure how many other combinations of our name have been listed with other Internet Service Providers as Spam but are now on alert and we feel that everyone should be on alert for this type of Censorship as well.
The best way to make sure you are not missing emails about this campaign or about any link your friends may be trying to email to you, is to go to your internet spam settings and make sure that “automatically delete spam” is not selected. You will then receive emails with “potential spam” in the heading and you will then be able to send the email to your Service Provider and let them know that this is not spam and that they should remove the listing. As an added precaution, you should also ask your Internet Service Provider for a complete list of words, phrases and website addresses that they are sniffing for in your private and confidential emails. Remember that nothing on the internet or in email is considered private or confidential anymore.
